his other descendents didn't get planted in the ground to become the seed. By Christs death, burial and resurrection and becoming the Spirit he caused a multiplication of Himself as the Son of God to produce the many sons of God. The many sons are produced in spirit not in the flesh.
John 3:6
6Flesh and blood give birth to flesh and blood, but the Spirit gives birth to things that are spiritual.
Romans 8:16
16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
1 Corinthians 2:12
12Now, we didn’t receive the spirit that belongs to the world. Instead, we received the Spirit who comes from God so that we could know the things which God has freely given us. (This relates to galations when Paul talks about sons and being heirs by the Spirit)
